Andrew A. ?Sandy? Wilcox may not be a household name in Madison. But you won?t find many people who have had as big of an impact on our city and its great university than the retiring president of UW Foundation. Wilcox deserves sincere thanks for his hard work and tremendous success over the last 22 years. The foundation, which raises, invests and distributes money to help UW-Madison, had assets of $190 million when Wilcox took over in 1988. Since then, that figure has grown to $2.3 billion. Gifts have totaled nearly $3 billion during Wilcox?s tenure, with more than $2 billion distributed.
